Belly Pics!

33 wks and counting!!!

Colin moves all the time. He is very active! Which is wonderful says Dr. Wallis :) I wake up in the morning with him moving and go to sleep at night with him moving. He does not wake me up in the middle of the night, thank goodness. And this is not just little fluttering, this is major kicking, punching, flipping, and jumping around in Mommy's belly!! Colin also makes my belly look lopsided and wierd, see the pics below. Colin is making my belly stick out on the right side . . . . it is crazy! (32 wks)

30 wks!!!!

Here I am at 30 wks. I am doing well. I did find out that I have gestational diabetes, so I am on a new diet and checking my blood sugar 4 times a day. My numbers have been good so far and I am really trying to eat exactly what the dietician told me. My doctor says I am healthy and Colin is healthy. He is growing and getting to be a big boy. He weighed 3 lbs 7 oz at this ultrasound. The main thing we are watching with the gestational diabetes is that Colin does not gain too much weight. I don't want a 9 lb or 10 lb baby. Dr. Wallis will be monitoring us very closely these next 9 or so weeks.

Colin's 3-D ultrasound from Wednesday: enjoy all the really precious pictures.

He is definatly growing!!! : )
Sean and I have about decided that Colin has my nose. We will see soon ; )

He is sticking his tongue out, a little stinker already!

I love this one. Colin is stretching all out saying, "Mom give me more room!!!!"

This is a yawn and it was the funniest thing to see on the ultrasound screen. We were able to see him open his mouth and yawn a big yawn. Sean and I of course went bananas like it was the greatest thing in the world. : ) We already love this boy so much!!!

Colin is thinking just like Whinnie the Pooh. "Think, Think, Think"

Colin's Room Stage Two

Unlce Ryan and Aunt Keeley got these letter for Colin's room. Sean painted them to match and hung them up today. I love it, it looks great!!!!
Aunt Donna made this Roman shade for Colin's room. She did a fabulous job!
Thank you Aunt Donna!!!

We still need to hang the chair railing up, as soon as this is done the room will be complete!!!

Colin's bedding is coming in one piece at a time. Since we wanted something very specific we had to have it made. Our semtress did an outstanding job on everything. We are still waiting on the fitted sheet, quilt, and pillow to match. I love Colin's bedding!!!

We will post the third and final stage once the chair railing gets up, pictures are hung, and bedding is completed. : )
